The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

The hall on the fifth floor instantly became quiet, and the lion stopped attacking and stood there quietly, but once Xia Cheng or Lin Yun made all the moves, the lion would attack them with lightning speed. Judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to rescue two people at the same time, no matter what the choice is, the other person must be sacrificed, and Xia Cheng has already made this awareness.

"Lin Yun, let go, I have to get out, only then can you escape." Xia Cheng forcefully pulled Lin Yun and let go of his hand.

"Cheng Yin, you have to think of a way, you don't necessarily have to watch Xia Cheng go to die like this, right?"

"Of course I don't want Xia Cheng to die here, but there is no way to distract the lion's attention, there is always a need for someone to die, this is probably already known when Xia Cheng made this plan, and he is the one who is ready to sacrifice." I looked at Xia Cheng and Lin Yun not far away and said.

"You should have thought that this would happen, if you were going to save them, you would have to sacrifice yourself, there is no way to have both worlds, you must be aware of this at all times." Zhang Han said coldly and expressionlessly behind me.

"Zhang Han is right, Xia Cheng has already made the consciousness of sacrifice, and none of us can change it." Zhao Yuyu agreed with Zhang Han's statement.

Xia Cheng and Lin Yun, who were hiding behind the animal model, must not be the victims of this rescue operation, I must figure out a way. At this time, I hate my own incompetence, and I can't be as fearful as Xia Cheng.

That's when my head suddenly hurt, and I haven't felt it for a long time. The sounds around me faded away, and my thoughts became more and more blurred, as if I had passed through a huge undersea tunnel, but when I opened my eyes again, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

"Lin Yun, take care of yourself." Xia Cheng pushed Lin Yun's hand away and left the cover of the model. Sure enough, the huge lion suddenly ran in the direction of Xia Cheng.

"No, Xia Cheng, you can't leave me alone!" Lin Yun shouted loudly, but it was useless. The speed of the lion was very fast, and Xia Cheng had to keep changing direction to buy time for Lin Yun.

"Lin Yun, come here! No time! Cui Li shouted loudly to Lin Yun beside me, but Lin Yun did not leave the model.

"Lin Yun, come here, do you want Xia Cheng's efforts to be in vain?" Zhao Yuyu stretched out his hands and shouted in the direction of Lin Yun.

But Lin Yun still didn't move half a step. At this moment, Xia Cheng suddenly heard a terrible scream, and the lion had already caught up with him and trampled him under his feet, and kept slapping Xia Cheng with his claws, and we just watched Xia Cheng fall to the ground motionless.

"Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng ......" Lin Yun suddenly left the model and ran towards Xia Cheng.

"Come back Lin Yun, you're crazy! Xia Cheng is no longer good, you can't save him at all. Zhao Yuyu's persuasion did not stop Lin Yun's progress in the slightest.

"No, I'm going to save him, he won't just leave me, no. He also promised me to take me to see the sea, he never lied, he never ......" Lin Yun was seriously in tears, and soon she ran to Xia Cheng's side.

The lion paused, re-locking onto its target.

Lin Yun grabbed Xia Cheng's hand tightly and shouted, "Xia Cheng, you answer me, Xia Cheng, you can't leave me." ”

But Xia Cheng didn't move, he couldn't answer any of Lin Yun's questions anymore. Lin Yun cried, she pushed Xia Cheng's body hard, "You get up, you get up, didn't we say it's good to see the sea?" Have you forgotten? ”

"Lin Yun, run!" Cui Li obviously didn't know what else to say except for running.

Everyone knew very well that even if Lin Yun left Xia City at this time, he would no longer be able to avoid the lion's attack. Lin Yun didn't run, but grabbed Xia Cheng tightly, she looked at Xia Cheng as much as she could, her eyes were full of despair.

My grief came naturally, how much I wanted to do something for Lin Yun and Xia Cheng, but I couldn't do anything, I could only watch them fall in front of the lion like this.

The lion re-targeted Lin Yun's body, it looked at Lin Yun, raised its claws high, and then slapped heavily at Lin Yun, who was extremely desperate.

It was so hard to tell me how hard it was, and I stretched out my hands to try to stop it, but in the end I couldn't do anything. Lin Yun fell next to Xia Cheng like this, her hand did not let go, but pulled Xia Cheng tightly. Maybe this was the only thing she could do in the end, not to let Xia Cheng leave alone.

"No ......!" I yelled, and the scene in front of me began to blur, and if I returned from the undersea tunnel, the sound in my ears became clearer and clearer, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Cui Li.

"Cheng Yin, are you alright?"

I hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where is Xia Cheng?" What about Lin Yun? ”

"How did you become Yin? You've only fainted for a few seconds, how do you feel like you've forgotten everything? Aren't they behind the model? I looked in the direction Cui Li said, and sure enough, Xia Cheng and Lin Yun were still behind the animal model.

No, I must find a way to change everything, and I can't watch the two of them die in front of me. I looked at Zhang Han and said, "Zhang Han, I know you are very smart, do you really have no way to save them?" ”

Zhang Han didn't speak, but I could see the helplessness in his eyes.

"Cheng Yin, didn't you say there was no way just now? Zhang Han is not a superman, so you don't necessarily want him to throw that lion out? ”

Cui Li didn't know what happened to Lin Yun and Xia Cheng in the future, and he still had the heart to joke here.

"Wait a minute, Cui Li, what did you just say?!" I had a flash of inspiration.

I said...... Zhang Han is not a superman. Cui Li looked at me inexplicably.

"It's not this sentence, it's the latter sentence." It was like I saw a ray of hope.

"The latter sentence? He didn't necessarily pick up the lion and throw it out, right? What's wrong, Cheng Yin?" Cui Li looked at me inexplicably.

"yes, why don't you just pick it up? Why didn't I think of that? Cui Li, you are simply a genius! I suddenly woke up from a dream, looked at Cui Li and said, "I have a way, but I need your help." ”

"Look at what you said, Xia Cheng and Lin Yun are both members of the research team, how can I sit idly by? Say, what do you want me to do? ”

"Cui Li, I want you to rush out......" Halfway through my speech, Cui Li's face was already pale.

"Cheng Yin, you're crazy. You're not kidding, are you? I'm also a member of the research team, so could you think of sacrificing me? ”

"Cui Li, you misunderstood, I won't sacrifice any of you. I'm asking you to rush out with me. The two of us attracted each other's attention to the lion, and finally came behind the model where Lin Yun and Xia Cheng were. ”

"Cheng Yin, what's the use of this? Even if we pass, the result is still the same! As a result, there will still be people who can't get out of there. ”

"I don't have time to explain to you, trust me!"

Cui Li looked at me suspiciously and said, "Cheng Yin, are you sure?" ”

"Cui Li, I really don't have time to explain to you, if you don't believe me, forget it. And even if you rush out, there will be no danger, and even if you have to leave someone behind, it will definitely not be you. ”

Xia Cheng suddenly pushed Lin Yun's hand away......

At this critical moment, I yelled at Xia Cheng, "Xia Cheng, do you really think that Lin Yun will let you die alone like this?!" Stay there and we'll save you!" I said as I rushed out of the staircase.

"Cui Li, hurry! Only if we lure away the lions from each other can we come to the summer city! ”

Cui Li rushed out with me like this, and in this way, we covered each other and finally came to Xia Cheng and Lin Yun's side.

"Cheng Yin, what are you doing here? Why are you putting yourself in danger now at the top of the stairs that you have managed to get to here?! Xia Cheng counted me, but I didn't care, "I'm here to save you." ”

"Cheng Yin, no matter what we do, there is always someone who wants to leave here, even if you come, it won't help!"

Lin Yun looked at me, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Listen to me, I have a way, with the four of us working together, we can definitely pick up that model!"

"Cheng Yin, you're not kidding, are you? You're going to pick up that lion model? But there's no way we're going to get close to it! ”

I glanced at Cui Li beside me, and sometimes I really thought he was stupidly cute, stupid and innocent, "Who told you to hug that lion?" I'm talking about this animal model that we have in front of us now. Just pick it up and slowly retreat to the top of the stairs to avoid the lion's attack. I explained.

"Cheng Yin, what you mean is to use this animal model in front of us as a shield, as long as we have this shield, we can leave here safely. Sure enough, this is a good way. Xia Cheng nodded.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. If such a large model moves, the lion will not react? If the lion attacks us as soon as we move, won't anyone be able to escape? Cui Li questioned.

"No, this lion is equipped with infrared scanning technology, and if we find it, we will attack, but obviously these animal models can block infrared detection." Xia Cheng further explained. He suddenly threw the flashlight in his hand into the distance, and the flashlight fell to the ground with a loud noise, but the lion did not move.

"You see, because this lion is equipped with infrared scanning technology, and what it scans must be the heat energy of the human body, the movement of objects does not attract its attention. In other words, the animal model in front of us blocks the infrared scanning, so it can't sense our temperature, so we hiding behind the animal model are the same as the flashlight I just threw out. "What Xia Cheng said is the same as I envisioned.

In this way, we moved the animal model in front of us vigorously, and slowly moved towards the staircase behind us. And the lion remained forbidden there, and did not attack us in any way.

"Cheng Yin, it seems that this method is really effective. The lion didn't move, like a sculpture. Cui Li now has the heart to joke again.

June 2, 2022 at 09:20 a.m

Under the cover of animal models, we finally reached the staircase leading to the sixth floor safely. At this time, Cui Li was very angry, and said boastfully: "Look, it was my words that came to Cheng Yin, so that he could think of such a good way, I have to say, I am really a genius." ”

Cui Li was complacent alone, and we didn't pay attention to him at all, but walked up the stairs.

"Huh? What about people? Why are they all gone? I'm not done yet! You shouldn't praise me? Cui Li realized that we didn't listen to what he said.

"Slow down, wait for me." Cui Li chased after him.

"I said Cui Li, shouldn't all geniuses be ahead of everyone? Why did you run to the back alone? Zhao Yuyu said sarcastically as he walked down the stairs.

"Zhao Yuyu, why are you talking like that? Forget it, genius is not always unknown to the world, so let me go further and further on the road of genius alone. Cui Li said like a poet.

"Cui Li, don't say it, that lion is right behind you!" I said in a suddenly tense tone.

"Holy, really?! Wait for me! Cheng Yin, I don't want to be eaten by a lion! Cui Li ran up the stairs in a panic, and we all laughed.

"What lions love most is a genius like you." Zhao Yuyu said with a smile.

Cui Li looked back and saw that there was no lion chasing him behind him, so he turned his head to look at me, "Cheng Yin, you actually tricked me!" Where did the lion come from! ”

"My Cui Da genius, how dare I fool you? Your IQ isn't something I can do, right? I said with a smile.

But at this moment, I suddenly remembered the scene that appeared in front of my eyes just now, and the smile on the corner of my mouth gradually faded again.

There are more dangers ahead, and I feel like my pace is getting heavier and heavier.

"What's wrong, Cheng Yin?" Xia Cheng saw the change in my expression, walked up to my side and asked with concern.

"Have you ever imagined what would have happened if you had rushed out like this just now?"

"If I rush out, I will definitely try to buy Lin Yun more time so that she can leave safely."

Obviously, there are many things that Xia Cheng can't imagine, and if he knows the final answer, I'm sure he won't choose to rush out.

"It's nothing, I'll just ask, let's go." I patted Xia Cheng on the shoulder and walked briskly up the stairs.
